New Construction · Central Florida

Buy new. Buy it right.

Winter Garden · Horizon West · Windermere · Clermont · Minneola · Groveland — local expertise on the neighborhoods, builders, and floorplans that matter.

01 — Specialty

A buyer's specialist for the new-construction market.

Buying new isn't like buying resale. Floorplans change, phases sell in waves, builders vary in quality, and the contract you sign at the sales office is the builder's — not yours. The wrong choice is expensive to undo.

James Goodyear helps buyers across west Orlando and Lake County navigate that landscape: which neighborhoods, which builders, which floorplans — and which to walk away from. Representation is at no cost to you; builders compensate the buyer's agent at closing.

02 — Neighborhoods

From master-planned communities
to lakefront estates.

Winter Garden

Historic Charm, Modern Builds

Single-family · 3–5 bd · ~$450k–$900k

Walkable downtown, brick-paved Plant Street, and master-planned communities just minutes away. Strong resale fundamentals.

Horizon West

Master-Planned Living

Single-family · 3–5 bd · ~$450k–$850k

One of Central Florida's fastest-growing planned communities. Phase pricing moves quickly — timing matters here.

Windermere

Luxury & Semi-Custom Estates

Custom & semi-custom · 5–6 bd · $1.5M+

Larger footprints, design-center flexibility, and chain-of-lakes addresses. Upgrades drive the final price.

Clermont

Chain of Lakes Living

Single-family & custom · 3–5 bd · ~$400k–$1.2M

Rolling terrain, big water access, and a downtown waterfront park. Builder mix varies sharply by community.

Minneola

Hills, Lakes & New Growth

Single-family · 3–5 bd · ~$400k–$700k

Hills of Minneola and surrounding communities are bringing fresh inventory with quick access to the Turnpike and Lake Minneola.

Groveland

Larger Lots, Lakefront Options

Single-family · 3–5 bd · ~$380k–$1M+

More land for the money, true lakefront opportunities, and a quiet pace. Strong fit for buyers prioritizing space and value.

Wellness Way · Olympus

The Growth Corridor

Master-planned · Coming online · Ground floor pricing

A new mixed-use district anchored by sports, wellness, and medical campuses. Early buyers benefit from first-phase pricing.

James knows the builders, the neighborhoods, and the questions we should have been asking. He kept us from buying the wrong floorplan — twice.

Close & move in

Full representation through walkthroughs, warranty orientation, and closing — compensated by the builder, not by you.
